Theme: Quality Assurance in Higher Education An online tool was developed for (potential) students to assess the congruence between the characteristics of an educational program and student preferences (Butter & Van Raalten, 2010)
Digitally supported dietary counselling may be helpful in increasing the protein intake in combined exercise and nutritional interventions in community-dwelling older adults. To study the effect of this approach, 212 older adults (72.2 ± 6.3 years) were randomised in three groups: control, exercise, or exercise plus dietary counselling. The dietary counselling during the 6-month intervention was a blended approach of face-to-face contacts and videoconferencing, and it was discontinued for a 6-month follow-up. Dietary protein intake, sources, product groups, resulting amino acid intake, and intake per eating occasion were assessed by a 3-day dietary record. The dietary counselling group was able to increase the protein intake by 32% at 6 months, and the intake remained 16% increased at 12 months. Protein intake mainly consisted of animal protein sources: dairy products, followed by fish and meat. This resulted in significantly more intake of essential amino acids, including leucine. The protein intake was distributed evenly over the day, resulting in more meals that reached the protein and leucine targets. Digitally supported dietary counselling was effective in increasing protein intake both per meal and per day in a lifestyle intervention in community-dwelling older adults. This was predominantly achieved by consuming more animal protein sources, particularly dairy products, and especially during breakfast and lunch.

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the experiences of safety and security management students, enrolled in an undergraduate course in the Netherlands, and present quantitative data from an online survey that aimed to explore the factors that have contributed to students’ satisfaction with, and engagement in, online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main findings suggest an interesting paradox of technology, which is worth further exploration in future research. Firstly, students with self perceived higher technological skill levels tend to reject online education more often as they see substantial shortcomings of classes in the way they are administered as compared to the vast available opportunities for real innovation. Secondly, as opposed to democratising education and allowing for custom-made, individualistic education schedules that help less-privileged students, online education can also lead to the displacement of education by income-generating activities altogether. Lastly, as much as technology allowed universities during the COVID-19 pandemic to continue with education, the transition to the environment, which is defined by highly interactive and engaging potential, may in fact be a net contributor to the feelings of social isolation, digital educational inequality and tension around commercialisation in higher education.

Sommige mensen met chronische ziekten zoals COPD hebben baat bij (online) zelfzorg, andere helemaal niet. Welke oplossing werkt nu eigenlijk bij wie? In de TASTE-onderzoekslijn kijken we naar het succes van zelfmanagement en eHealth bij mensen met een chronische ziekte.Doel De TASTE-onderzoekslijn (TAilored Self-managemenT and E-health) richt zich op zelfmanagement van chronisch zieken: het vermogen van patiënten om goed met hun ziekte om te gaan. Er zijn talloze hulpmiddelen voor beter zelfmanagement op de markt, vaak digitaal (eHealth). Maar het is onduidelijk wat nu echt werkt en bij wie. TASTE bestaat uit meerdere deelonderzoeken. Wij onderzoeken wat er nodig is om ondersteuning op maat te bieden voor het omgaan met een chronische ziekte. Daarnaast ontwikkelen we nieuwe methodes voor zelfmanagement. Hiermee willen we kosten verminderen van de zorg voor chronisch zieken en de behandeling verbeteren.
